Modric denies deliberately stamping on Suarez

Luka Modric says the stamp on Denis Suarez for which he was sent off against Celta Vigo was “an accidental action”.

Real Madrid ran out 3-1 winners at Balaidos in their first LaLiga game of the season on Saturday despite Modric’s dismissal.

The Ballon d’Or winner was shown the red card for the first time in LaLiga after catching Suarez early in the second half.

Modric was sent off after a VAR review, but after the game he used social media to protest his innocence.

“Sent off for an accidental action,” he wrote on Twitter, “In life I would never intentionally make such an action on a player. Totally involuntary!”
